Zusammenfassung |
A statistical analysis for the comparability of water (H2O) and ozone
(O3) data sets sampled during the SPURT aircraft campaigns and the MOZAIC
passenger aircraft flights is presented. The Kolmogoroff-Smirnoff test
reveals that the distribution functions from SPURT and MOZAIC trace gases
differ from each other with a confidence of 95%. A variance analysis shows a
different variability character in both trace gas data sets. While the SPURT
H2O data only contain atmospheric processes variable on a diurnal or
synoptical timescale, MOZAIC H2O data also reveal processes, which vary on
inter-seasonal and seasonal timescales. The SPURT H2O data set does not
represent the full MOZAIC H2O variance in the UT/LS for climatological
investigations, whereas the variance of O3 is much better represented.
SPURT H2O data are better suited in the stratosphere, where the MOZAIC RH
sensor looses its sensitivity. |
